Playin Catch-Up

I like to dedicate this blog to all those fans who have stayed with us through our blogging drought. We appologize for the lack of posts but appreciate the continous reminders, naggs, and even tantrums to continue our blogging habits. Special thanks to Catherine, Karen, and Rachel.
A picture says a million words. Dave and I bought a bike trailor for Kylie. We were so excited we tried to fit in as many trips as we could before winter hit. Kylie seemed to enjoy it and we found her smiling all the way down the path throughout Ogden. Dave had the genius idea of strapping her favorite friend, her stuffed animal "Bear", in the passenger seat. We can't wait to wear the trailor out next year!


There has been a few days this winter that Kylie and I have been stuck in the house due to so much snow. Kylie doesn't seem to mind and loves playing in it. There has been several days that within 10 minutes of waking up she's giving me the sign that she wants to go outside. She just hasn't learned that I'm not up for going out in my PJ's yet.



The reason why I haven't been blogging is that I have been so involved with my Scentsy business. I have had about 3 formal parties and at least 3 basket parties a month ever since I've started. It has been so much fun and so much more successful than I ever expected. It has been a huge blessing and outlet for me as a stay at home mom. I love the excuse to socialize, love the challenge of reaching goals, and love thinking of new ideas that help my business succeed. It has been so much fun that it has kept me up at night on serveral occassions thinking of new ways to make it succeed. It has been a lot of fun.Dave really enjoys fishing. Dave has spent several days at the lake looking for fish this year with some of his friends. This is a picture of him and his friend Nate Jones fishing at Strawberry Resiviour.
I love Christmas traditions. One of my very favorite one is when Santa comes to the Mills house and gives us all presents. Who can complain about that? We sing songs, eat to much, and even have a little program where the kids can display some of there talents. Its always a highlight of the season even though Kylie is afraid of the guy with the long white beard.

Christmas was great this year as we spent it in Pocatello. Kylie particully loved it because she could chase the cat and play with her cousin Sidney all day. She couldn't keep a smile off her face once she woke up and saw that Sidney was there. She also thrived on seeing her cousin Rigdon and just couldn't get enough hugs from him. It was fun to see Dave's Grandpa dedicate a Christmas song as his gift to Helen during the Christmas Eve program. It was so neat that he decide to give her a gift of song for Christmas since he didn't have any money. Kylie enjoyed the company so much over Christmas that she seemed depressed after having been surrounded by cousins. I had to quickly get some playgroups together after we came home to fill the void.
Kylie is learning the names of all the features of her face and finds it particully interesting that there are two holes the can fit tiny objects in them. Her newest trick is to put corn up her nose. I left for 2 seconds the other day while she was eating lunch and found peas had been stuffed in her little nostrils. She seems to find trouble wherever she goes.
Dave turned 35! We tried celebrating all week! On his birthday we ended up going to Brook Mills blessing in Salt Lake and on Monday we got together with some of Dave's old college roommates for some official birthday celebrating.
Kylie got her first haircut by a proffessional today. Our friend, Robin Norman, has a salon in her home so we headed up North to get her a haircut. I bribed her with all of her favorite things to help her stay as still as possible. She did a pretty good job considering she's one.
